Ice fishing forum problems.

Why won't my computers at home open the ice fishing forum? Every other forum on this site opens just fine but all I get on the ice fishing forum is the ice leaders banner at the top and that's it.

I'm stumped, help me out. I don't think it's a firewall issue since the other forums open and I'm pretty sure I don't want to take down the firewall just to read one forum.

This happened to me last year. Frustrating!!!

I'm taking a wild guess here but... you are browsing the internet with Explorer.

I think what happens (or happened) is you picked up some spyware that is giving you problems with that forum. Just a guess, but I've had aweful problems with Internet Explorer.

Try loading Mozilla Firefox. Its a free web browser and had much fewer issues with spyware, pop-ups, etc.

This was my fix. Hope it works for you. wink.gif

Is it possible that you need to clear your temp internet files folder. We have an issue with mitchell all the time at work where a file becomes corrupted and pages will not open. Clear the temp internet files folder and all is well.

Hanson, I run spybot and adaware weekly along with Norton.

Airjer, that didn't do it either. I'll try it without my popup blocker.

sunnyslayer- Thanks for posting this! I've had a heck of a time with my computer and some areas of sites would not work, and I couldn't get into the ice forum either. Now I can. grin.gif

I had the same problem. I found that something in the Norton suite causes it, though I am not exactly sure what. I disable my complete Norton suite while on Fishing Minnesota then turn it back on afterwards. The Ice Fishing forums wouldn't come up at all, plus a lot of ads in other forums too.

Norton plus Internet explorer = problems. Norton used to be the best and now it is more problematic then anything else. You would be better served with Micro Trend and run firefox. If you continue to use norton you are best to completely delete it and reinstall it. You must remove it with a norton utility. If you attempt to delete it with add remove programs through control panel you will have other problems. What probably happened was there was a norton warning sometime when you were in fishing minnesota and you told it to take action by mistake and now it keeps blocking that site. If you are paying for norton you should maybe look elsewhere. I had norton and two virus and PC micro trend found them and helped me remove them. If you download and run Firefox like previously mentioned you will notice your web sites load at least three times faster then with internet explorer.

Other than the ad blocker issue (is that Nortons fault?) on this particular site I've never had a problem with it or Explorer on either of my three Dell computers. The chances of me changing any of it are pretty slim, and how much faster than instantly can pages load?

If norton thinks that an intrusion has happened it will ask you if you want to ignore it , block it or allow it one time. If you were to choose to block it say if a pop up happened while you were in the ice fishing forum Norton will block you when you go to ice fishing even if there is no pop up. I am not saying this is what has happened only that it could be one possibility. I used to use IE with pop up stopper and the popups still got through. Since switching all three of my computers to Firefox no popups have happened. I frequent sites including this one a year ago where firefox was unbelievably fast compared to IE. Last year fishing minnesota fixed whatever the problem was last year so it is much faster now. A true test is a site like Iboats that runs much slower and you will really notice a difference.

      Big Traverse Ice Free

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      St Cloud Fishing Reports

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
